Zoom M5484LITEKIT

We pose boards in version MCF5484GFE

Freescale PN DDR Mem Nor Flash Boot Flash Graphics Ctrl USB

Memory parameters match U-Boot M5485GFE board variant

GCC

GCC works correctly with Coldfire since version 4.5.x; however produces badly optimized code (redundant register allocations).

Bootloaders

Coldfire Linux Loader

Coldfire Linux loader in version 0.3.3 supports MCF548x (bootable from SRAM with dBUG; or from Flash). Note that CoLiLo has set harcoded only 9600 baudrate for serial line (edit board.c file to change). In case for MCF5484LITE it also has to be updated with Flash Adress. CoLiLo does not initialize XL Bus arbiter.

U-Boot

Current version of U-Boot (u-boot-2011.06-rc2, [2]) requires small compilation fixes:

This patch will allow booting U-Boot from SRAM. This allows keeping original dBUG bootloader on the board and send U-Boot via ethernet and then boot it from SRAM. It requires MBAR on 0x01000000 and SDRAM base on 0x00000000.
